History and Background
Pine Lake Elementary School was built in 1977. It is located on 9.13 acres in southwest Miami-Dade County at 16700 SW 109th Avenue. Our School consists of one two story structure with open pod classrooms in the main building and one portable classroom. Pine Lake Elementary was completely renovated in 1994 to repair damage caused by Hurricane Andrew. At that time, a one-story wing was added. The school has been retro-fitted to provide internet and intranet access to all classrooms.
